What is this all about?

The map shows the existing MEV Boost relays and the MEV-boosted blocks of the last 4 days that contained Tornado Cash transactions. While some relays take measures to prevent the terrible consequences of a tornado, others are exposed to them without any protection.

Why aren`t there tornadoes at every relay?

Some relays operate under the guidance of the OFAC. This protects them from the damaging effects of Tornados!

What are the effects of Tornados?

Damage! Tornados kick up a lot of dust, so observers often can`t identify the victims. Uprooted merkle trees fly through the air. A horrible scenario. Victims caught in a tornado look different afterwards. Most of the time, survivors have zero knowledge what happened.

What qualifies as a Tornado?

Every block including a transaction that interacted with the ETH, DAI, USDC, USDT, cDai or wBTC contracts of Tornado Cash, no matter which denomination, plus TORN Transfers
(mainnet only).

What`s the message?

The world of relays is small.
We should not interfere with nature.
Censorship-resistance must remain a core value.
